I'm surprised that there is no mentions of a great hacker-friendly plain-text accounting software called `ledger` https://ledger-cli.org/ in this thread. It has amazing documentation when it comes to understanding basic principles of double-entry bookkeeping and goes through many typical situations and usecases. There are also several forks, most popular and advanced is `hledger` https://hledger.org/ (h is for Haskell), which provides some neat features out of the box, such as a simple web interface. All of them are very primitive compared to "professional" accounting software, but in return it offers great opportunities for hacking around while ensuring validity of your books.
I use ledger: https://ledger-cli.org/
I believe this same plain text format is used by other tools, which you can find info about here: https://plaintextaccounting.org/ (In particular a lot of people seem to use hledger and beancount)
The ledger is written using a text editor. The purpose of the software is to add everything up, calculate the balances and make sure everything balances. I keep all of my 12 years of accounting in one file and haven't noticed any slowdown. But a real business would surely have many more accounts and may want to split files by financial year or something.
I use helper scripts to convert the data from my bank CSV downloads into ledger format. It uses machine learning to associate payees to accounts (e.g. "Tesco" gets filed to the account "Expenses:Groceries"). I haven't maintained the ML part although it works for me most of the time. In case it's useful, the code is here: https://github.com/georgek/accounts/
Been using hledger & friends for a few days now:
`2008-01-01 Opening Balance`
hledger-flow is my BFF for managing this: https://github.com/apauley/hledger-flow
The awesome-hledger page is an attempt to consolidate and collect tools, blog post, guides, videos and everything related and compatible to hledger. The idea is to add only tools that are known to work well is not too much specific for an individual use-case, but can be useful to the community at large..
Project mention: How to forcefully apply a forecast to the current month in Hledger? | /r/plaintextaccounting | 2023-06-03My forecast file follows this format with transactions defined like this.
Project mention: Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-12https://sourcemap.tools/
It helps decipher JS error stack traces by applying source maps to them. In my previous company, we struggled to configure Sentry to work with source maps, and every error message was cryptic due to minification. First, I created a little command line utility and later made it a web app.
